SAVOY -- You don't have to leave Champaign County to find a slot machine anymore. Video gambling machines are up and running at several restaurants, including Old Orchard Lanes.

The bowling alley fired up the money makers last week. Workers say customers sometimes have to wait in line to get a seat.

They're not sure exactly how much money the machines will generate, but a quarter of the revenue will go to the state.
